Nation against Great Britain in the conflict known as the War of 1812; 
we, the survivors and descendants of those who participated in that contest, 
have joined together to perpetuate its memories and victories, to collect and 
secure for preservation, rolls, records, books and other documents relating 
to that period; to encourage research and publication of historical data, 
including memorials of patriots of that era in our National history; to care 
for and, when necessary, assist in burying actual veterans of that struggle; 
to cherish, maintain and extend the institutions of American freedom, and 
foster true patriotism and love of country.
